Please Tell Me they won't screw up what made Halo 2 Great Online, I hope it will be 100% Original, 343i do you hear me DON'T SCREW UP THIS GAME! THIS IS MY FAVORITE GAME!

Halo 2 Anniversary, must be completely HD, with no tricks like Halo CEA, I want to this restored to what the multiplayer was back in 2004 with HD

I hope they don't screw it up. Like they did with Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary, and put like the Halo Reach Multiplayer Elements NOT COOL 343i

Just improve the graphics is all, leave everything else alone

Halo 2 should be brought to the new xbox however there shouldn't be any screwing up of the single player and multiplayer. Multiplayer should be exactly like it was in 2004 in Halo 2 when it came to xbox live

I actually played it on windows 7 without a problem, its needs a major patch. 343i should be fixing this game on pc, They are responsible for it now

I wouldn't have a problem with testing the new Halos Either and I will be honest about whats cool and what isn't So I will not want to see horrible quality go onto store shelves at all I'm willing to do it, and I am willing to do everything I can to help make Halo Better. What was great and was not so good about

There is no new update which is very sad for 343i. I want to see Halo 2 PC have matchmaking. Like the original xbox game. But that sadly is a stab through the heart to Halo 2 Veterans like me

How did you find this?

Not unless they do exactly this,

Xbox Verison is already shut down. In fact April 15th 2010. is when they shut it down 3 years ago

I don't believe they will go in the right direction, they screwed up Halo 1 HD, and I don't believe they will do anything right for the Halo Series. I'm very disappointed in 343i, I was hoping they would bring Halo 2 back to life on PC and then do the patching to allow Halo 2 Anniversary to be cross platform compatible. But it seems that PC games are just nothing to them, and I happen to be a pc gamer. I am also an original xbox live veteran, that misses a good online game.

Why not use "Original Xbox Live" Servers for Games for Windows Live with Valves Powerful Anti-Cheating Engine? The servers were excellent, no problem at all, rather than gather dust, why not use those for Games For Windows Live? Have it be free to use even? I Don't Think Games For Windows Live, is horrible, its got a chance, for redemption. However, You need to use a powerful anti-cheat, to stop hackers, However you should consider using Valve Anti-Cheat, it has a very strict, policy when it comes to cheaters Here Valves Policy Important:All VAC bans are permanent - Valve has a zero-tolerance policy for cheating and will not lift VAC bans under any circumstances. What is VAC?If a user connects to a VAC-Secured server from a computer with identifiable cheats installed, the VAC system will ban the user from playing on VAC-Secured servers in the future. While server admins may choose to ban specific players, server admins cannot VAC ban players. The VAC system is automated - contacting Steam Support to report cheaters is not necessary, nor will Steam Support act on any information provided. The VAC system reliably detects cheats using their cheat signatures. Any third-party modification to a game designed to give one player an advantage over another is classified as a cheat or hack and will trigger a VAC ban. This includes modifications to a game's core executable files and dynamic link libraries. The following will not trigger a VAC ban: Using chat programs like X-Fire System hardware configurations Updated system drivers, such as video card drivers Use only trusted machines to play on VAC-Secured servers - if you are not sure whether or not the machine you are using to connect to Steam may have cheats installed, do not play on VAC-Secured servers. Use caution when installing any game modifications, such as scripts or custom skins. Only download custom content from trusted sources. Hackers sometimes maliciously disguise their cheats to cause others to get banned. For more information on how you can protect yourself, please refer to this FAQ: Account Security Recommendations For more information on Valve's policies, please see the Steam Subscriber Agreement and the Rules of Steam Online Conduct. Steam Subscriber AgreementSteam Subscriber Agreement Rules of Steam Online ConductRules of Steam Online Conduct Reporting a new CheatIf you know of a new cheat, especially private cheats (ones that aren't on a public website), and can provide the links or the actual binaries, please visit the SteamPowered Forums and PM (private mail) a moderator there and it will be reported to the VAC team. Reporting CheatersEncountered a cheater? Please follow the instructions in this FAQ to report the suspected cheater. Please note that users are never banned based on reports alone. VAC Enabled GamesPlease see the Steam Store Valve Anti Cheat Enabled search term. Valve gamesThe Valve Anti-Cheat system is enabled for servers displaying the Secured shield logo. Using custom skins, sounds or maps and playing multi-player mods which do not modify core .EXE and .DLL files will not result in a VAC ban Cheating in one of the following Source games will result in a VAC ban for all games in the list and your items from Team Fortress 2 will be removed except any items that have been purchased: Counter-Strike: Source Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Day of Defeat: Source Team Fortress 2 Cheating in one of the following Gold Source games will result in a VAC ban for all games in the list: Counter-Strike Condition Zero Ricochet Day of Defeat Team Fortress Classic Half-Life: Deathmatch Deathmatch Classic Note:Excluding the games listed above, VAC bans will only apply to the game the cheat was detected in. For example, a VAC ban in Modern Warfare 2 will not affect Modern Warfare 3. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 & 3VAC is enabled on all multiplayer servers, public and private. Any modifications to the game other than editing config files can result in a VAC ban. Examples of such modifications include but are not limited to console enablers, VAC disablers, and server hosting mods. Dungeon DefendersVAC is enabled in both Open and Ranked mode. Using cheats or trainers in either mode will result in a VAC ban. VAC Bans versus Server BansThe best indicator that your account has been banned by VAC is if you receive this message when attempting to access a VAC-secure server: "Your connection to this secure server has been rejected. Because of past cheating violations, you have been banned from playing on all secure servers" If you receive an error message stating "STEAMID IS BANNED" (or other similar messages) when attempting to connect to a server, your account is not banned by VAC - server administrators may ban you from a particular server (we cannot prevent this - whoever runs the server can ban players for any reason they desire). If you find that you are banned from a large number of servers but your VAC status is in good standing, you have likely been banned by a third-party ban tool, such as Steambans or Punkbuster. These third-party tools are used by a large number of servers sharing a common database of banned ID's. These tools are unrelated to Steam and we cannot assist you in resolving this issue. You will not be banned by the VAC system unless you login to a VAC-secure server with a cheat installed on your computer.

I'm a Halo 2 Xbox Live Veteran, and I would want to see Halo 2 PC get the Original Xbox Live Servers for the game to run on, with a powerful anti-cheating engine, from Valve

Only on certain grounds I would absolutely buy this game.

half0mike, on 25 Mar 2013 - 01:50, said: If H2A has anything but original H2 multiplayer, I won't be buying. Which is sad, but signifies how strongly I feel about this issue as H2 is my favorite game of all time by far. No compromises, I won't give in, and I suggest to anyone else who feels the same way to let it be known. I'm a Halo 2 Veteran I would like to see a complete Reboot of Halo 2. Make Halo 2 Anniversary Completely like Halo 2 was back on Xbox 1. 343i I will honestly tell you this. When you made Halo 1 HD. You got the single player right, however you screwed up the complete Halo 1 Multiplayer, that I remembered on the original Xbox. Listen 343i, I am not here to bash you guys. I want you to please do me this favor. When you make Halo 2 Anniversary, please Allow Cross Platform between PC gamers and Xbox Live Gamers. By doing this, it will unite all. I would totally play Halo 2 on Live, like on Xbox from my PC. However, I want you to please don't rush this game, and Please for love of Halo 2's sake. Please don't use Halo Reach Multiplayer, and Please Use Halo 2 PC maps, and also Original Xbox Maps, when you release the game. Make sure that you don't destroy this game. I don't want you guys (343i) be ripped to Pieces in the Press. I can be harsh in my criticism of you. But I don't want to do that. I save that as a last resort. Please Do Halo 2 Players like myself a favor, Don't Make the same Mistake like you did with Halo 1 Multiplayer. Make Halo 2 Anniversary Completely Halo 2, no forge, no reach weapons, and also bring back the game types from Halo 2 Xbox (2004). Please understand that I want to play Halo 2 Anniversary, but I feel that this game could be ruined again. I ask you 343i, Will You Please Make Halo 2 Anniversary, and Will you Please completely make Halo 2 Exactly what it was on Xbox Live, before the game got taken down on April 15th, 2010? Can you please make the maps free for download? Completely use original Halo 2 for your guide, and completely use a powerful Anti Cheating Engine. I would Recommend that you use Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) for the Online Multiplayer for this game I hope you get what I am saying is from the kindness of my Heart, and that I really don't want you to destroy this game, because I played this game as a teen, when I had hard times, and I don't want you to destroy that part of my like. I hold this game close to my heart when I play online. I want to play Halo 2 on Xbox again, So Badly, I'm asking you the company who did very good with Halo 4, But I ask that you Please Don't Destroy the game I remembered back when I played on Xbox live 06/06/06 I ask with humble respect

I do agree, Halo Reach Engine would kill Halo 2's chance of coming back into its pure form, If Halo 2 does come back its gonna need to be 3 things. #1. Rank Number system like it was back in 2004. #2. The Online has to be completely original and have nothing to do with Halo Reach. and most importantly #3. It has to have no forge mode, and its also has to be completely HD, with all original Weapons, along with Lighting, Sound, Textures, and most importantly This has to come to PC also, with a powerful anticheating engine build from the ground up. If they follow this suggestion I can totally put a pre order down when if they release the game. It has be completely no modding at all
